In this podcast, the hosts explore the symbolism and interpretation of the World Card in Tarot, discuss the concept of using end dates as a growth process, touch upon the negative aspects associated with the World Card, emphasize the importance of rest and reflection after achieving success, and have random discussions on various topics. They also explore time magic for healing and forgiveness work, as well as the use of dance and self-initiation ceremony to align with the World Card's meaning.

The discussion dives into the transformative power of the Judgment card, emphasizing resurrection and personal awakening. Listeners are encouraged to break harmful silent contracts and embrace self-reflection through tarot and meditation. The hosts also explore Pluto's significance in astrology and its connection to societal transformation. Rich symbolism in pop culture is examined, affirming the importance of collective healing and authentic living. The episode closes with an enchanting song, reinforcing themes of growth and change.

In today's episode, we talk about Major Arcana XIV, the Sun card. Tune in if you’re ready to step into your confidence; let your inner light shine; harness the power of the sun; heal issues related to self worth; support yourself through a rebirthing process; and of course, celebrate!********************************************************Amanda's References from this episode include:“The Tarot” by Paul Foster Case“78 Degrees of Wisdom” by Rachel Pollack“The Queering of the Tarot” by Cassandra Snow“The Book of Symbols” by Taschen“The Women’s Dictionary of Symbols and Sacred Objects” by Barbara WalkerPenelope Umbrico is the artist who crowd sources sun imagery. http://www.penelopeumbrico.net/index.php/project/suns/“Making the Gods Work for You” by Caroline W.
